Official Solution:
Drop-down 1:
First, notice that the \(x\)-axis (corn acreage) ranges from -200 to 1,400, while the \(y\)-axis (soybean acreage) ranges from -1,000 to 4,000. Clearly, the state that experienced the largest increase in combined corn and soybean acreage was South Dakota (SD), with a total increase of approximately 1,200 + 200 = 1,400. The second largest increase appears to be in North Dakota (ND), with a net increase of approximately 900 + (-100) = 800.
Drop-down 2:
The range of change in combined corn and soybean acreage can be found by subtracting the largest decrease from the largest increase. The largest increase, as calculated above, was for South Dakota (SD) at 1,400. The largest decrease must be for Illinois (IL), at 750 + (-950) = -200. Thus, the range of change is 1,400 - (-200) = 1,600.
The largest increase in soybean acreage was for Tennessee (TN), at approximately 350.
Therefore, the range of 1,600 is approximately \(\frac{1,600}{350} \approx 5\) times the largest increase in soybean acreage of 350.
Correct answer:
Dropdown 1: "ND"
Dropdown 2: "5"
